If you use '+' at the start of a word, that word will be present in the search results.eg. Harry +PotterSearch results will contain 'Potter'.

- (minus symbol)

If you use '-' at the start of a word, that word will be absent in the search results.eg. Harry -PotterSearch results will not contain 'Potter'.

AND

If you use 'AND' between 2 words, then both those words will be present in the search results.eg. Harry AND PotterSearch results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.NOTE: AND will only work with single words not phrases.

OR

If you use 'OR' between 2 single words, then either or both of those words will be present in the search results.eg. 'Harry OR Potter'Search results will contain just 'Harry', or just 'Potter', or both 'Harry' and 'Potter'. NOTE: OR will only work with single words not phrases.

NOT

If you use 'NOT' before a word, that word will be absent in the search results. (This is the same as using the minus symbol).eg. 'Harry NOT Potter'Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
NOTE: NOT will only work with single words not phrases.

" " (double quotation marks)

If you use double quotation marks around words, those words will be present in that order.eg. "Harry Potter"Search results will contain 'Harry Potter', but not 'Potter Harry'.NOTE: "" cannot be combined with AND, OR & NOT searches.

* (asterisk)

If you use '*' in a word, it performs a wildcard search, as it signifies any number of characters. (Searches cannot start with a wildcard).eg. 'Pot*er'Search results will contain words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er', such as 'Potter'.
